Moles
 

The only thing blooming in the garden here is the Moles 47 blooming
new mole hills since the snow started to go.
Browsing tonight I came accross these
Sork Anti Mole Bulbs
Sork Anti-Mole is a product that really works and has been sold for
over 10 years on the Swedish market. NOW BACK IN STOCK


The bulb secretes a smell that humans cannot detect and this smell
keeps moles and field mice away or forces them to move
With natural ingredients, gathered in the Swedish countryside, Anti-
Mole does no damage to your garden and is currently the only product
with the capacity of making moles move away without the use of
pesticides or poison
The Sork Anti-Mole bulb is effective for up to two years after being
planted
Sork Anti-Mole bulbs are used in golf clubs, cemeteries, by farmers,
caravan parks, private gardeners, commercial gardeners and many others

How it works if you already have Moles

The bulb is planted before there is frost in the ground.
The distance between the bulbs should be 8m (9 yds) and the depth 5-8
cm (2-3in).
Plant in a U formation frame around your garden leaving one side
free.
Plant the next row after a week and then another every 4 days, until
the area is filled. This is to make it possible for the moles and
field mice to escape and avoid capturing them in your garden
When the bulb starts to sprout it secretes a smell which moles and
field mice dislike and they therefore avoid the area.
Occasionaly, the bulb can produce a small yellow flower which will
disappear when you mow the lawn.

Has anyone come accross these Bulbs?

Don't know about the bulbs David but my daughter and son in law have been
troubled by moles for years and have tried just about everything. Last
summer, one grass area to the side of the pond some 50 metres square was
ruined by moles and when they moved to the other side of the pond to an even
larger area, d & sil were tearing their hair out, their own!!

However, they found and bought a solar device which sticks into the ground
near or in an existing run, and hay presto, the moles cleared off from that
area, so the device was moved and success again.

We will be with them later today and I will get details. They are pleased
with it.

I don't know how deep Moles go, but it is a large walled garden so they need
to be killed or they need to go deep under the footings of the wall if they
want to escape ;-)

As moles are there (I believe) looking for food i.e. worms, perhaps
killing the worms might be a solution. I have noticed since the snow has
gone that there are an extraordinary number of mole hills everywhere.
Now I would have thought that the exceptionally cold weather would have
killed them off. Maybe they kept ward by breeding! ;-0

The reason they are digging is that they are pursuing worms that have
gone deep to escape the frost. So I'm told.

The SORK things are in the current Dobies catalogue.Ten bulbs, £13.95.
Planting tool £6.95 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They must be on cloud cuckoo land.

I'm getting out my diesel/creosote soaked rags to stuff down the holes.

IME the only thing that works is mole traps. Moles are (unless mating)
solitary and territorial and it's surprising how many hills will be
caused by a single mole. I put a caliper-type trap in one of the runs
between the hills and usually get the little blighter within a day or
two as they seem to regularly patrol their burrow network. The cat
also does a good job of despatching any that surface when he's around.

Not all that impressed apparently.

Drove the Moles elsewhere in the grounds.

Didn't kill them.

Failed to function when the frosts and snow came.

Now back in their boxes in the greenhouse and the grounds are peppered with
molehills. I would have taken a photo but you all know what masses of
molehills look like.

BTW, someone said get rid of the worms. NO NO NO NO NO, worms are your
friends in the garden :-)

Well, I did say I would report back!!
